001I'll call the meeting to order at 7:02 a.m. It is Tuesday, December 16th. 7:02 a.m. in the central conference room. We will stand to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands. One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Okay. Um, next item on the agenda is confirmation and approval of the agenda. Do I have a motion to approve the agenda as presented? >> Say your move. I have second. Second. All in favor say I. >> I. All oppose. Same sign. Motion passes. Uh, next we have the welcoming of visitors public comment and communications. Um, we have lots of students here today. It's awesome to see who that is. teachers. Thank you. Thank you all for being here this morning. Um I could but
002I'm not going to. We'll move on to item two, student alcohols. Um a goal progress monitor choice. Great. Great. So um this is a change for this year. Instead of monitoring all of goal number three, all the GPMs, we're just going to do 3.1 because this is the first round of data that we have for the ASVAB. Um, so the juniors have taken the ASVAB or most of them have taken that. What in your packet you have the overview of the ASVABS from Mr. Wentworth, which that was fascinating even for me to read that because I know that they take the ASVAB that it was helpful and then it gave you some of the questions. Shannon and I were looking at the questions and we're like, uh, yeah. [laughter] >> No. Uh, so, you know,
003Mr. Wentworth, there was a lot of information in there to share, but this year so far, out of 32 juniors that have taken it, 31 of them have scored our 31. Uh, that is our goal for that. Uh, so it they've done really, really well. and that you had some good questions about um you know what about the ones that haven't made it yet. There's some that still need to test because when they tested and they did the ASBA they were gone from school or for some other reason they had to miss the ASBA. There was one on the Q&A though. I'm sorry I gave you the wrong information. I think the question was something about is can Mr. Wentworth um does he need to have a guard member there to administer the test? And
004he said it's kind of a gray area. Could he do it? Yes. But he said he doesn't feel comfortable without a guard member being there. But even though I mean he's gone through it, you know, and he can in let's say emergency situations, but they prefer to have a guard member there to help proctor it. So they'll proctor it again. They'll do it again in the spring. And I think, you know, if it came down to like the one child that needed to take it or wanted to get a higher score, we would be able to do that. We had some good questions, too, about um how can they raise their ASVAB score, which we've talked about in the past. you know, it's taking more math classes because a big part of the ASVAB is
005math. Um, but those incentives that are built in, so Mr. Lynch can correct me on this, but if they score that 31, then they can have a free hours. Maybe you want to explain the incentive. >> Did it where um they scored a fifth year or higher, they would get an exemption study hall. And so I mean while our juniors that achieve that this year I mean they're set and actually gonna have that exemption for their senior year their study go. So uh we still have 10 juniors that need to take it and we do have students that will be retaking it to try to get a better score. In order to get the North Dakota scholarship they have to score a 51. Correct? >> 50 on that one in order to get the North
006Dakota scholarship. So I can we can break that down for the when I report in the spring by how many of them got the 50 and would have gotten this uh North Dakota State scholarship. >> How much is that for? >> 8,000 now. >> A pretty big incentive. >> If you're here in school or in state, correct? >> Yeah. Um you know, I know one of things Mr. Wentworth said was the court doesn't um >> entice the kids. I guess that's the right word. entice some of the kids, but you know, being on the honor role doesn't entice kids. You know, there's things that you that's that extrinsic piece. And you know, I can make a comment in the Q&A. We really want our kids to be intrinsically motivated, right? That's our goal. And if
007we can increase that intrinsic motivation, but we're all motivated by extrinsic, like we talked before about we all get a paycheck when we come to work or, you know, you maybe get a bonus for something, but there so that extrinsic is always going to be there. and there's going to be people that are not as intrinsically motivated. But that's our goal and that's the things that we work on in the elementary. So it all ties together into goal three where you can see that um some one of the things is our children that are on IEPs might not be taking the ASVA. So I included from Mr. Wentworth in the packet the alternate uh choice ready student because I shared with you the choice ready framework and that keeps changing. They keep adding things um
008to that. But this is the alternate kids that are you know qualify for that. Just wanted you guys to understand that that they may not take the ask. So that might be where we don't have all the kids taking the piece of it. But for questions beyond what sent me but well I'll report on all three of the GPMs then in the spring. I don't remember what month it is on the calendar, but then when we have more data, I thought it was silly to keep reporting on those when we don't even have any new data. So, but I guess that'll kind of segue into the next piece. So, if you remember from the choice ready framework, um, one of those essential skills areas that we're trying to make sure that all of our kids,
009you know, with our goal, our goal progress measuring that all of our kids are have those essential skills and that's falling on us to change our adult behavior and give opportunities or maybe not call them opportunities, but the fact that everybody's going to do that like Mr. Worth is going to take them all to a career fair. Well, one of the areas in the essential skills is we want kids to be involved in extracurriculars and um I asked the coaches from the fall sports if they would bring their kids in and you can meet them and they can talk to you and uh you can see that these are our kids that and I wasn't sure of the exact is it just academic um for volleyball it was just academic all districts and this for
010volleyball this is the first year that they've done >> yeah we did it last two years when we moved to district one but they started I guess when they were in district one when before the three class system I guess they've done this >> or in your class >> and they just wanted to carry it over. >> Maybe explain what the Okay, so the girls were different from the boys, right? So maybe explain what the girls have to do for volleyball in order to get this. >> So the girls need to thank you. >> I would love to [laughter] look at that sweater. Yeah, my minion, >> but I um yeah, I guess I just wrote a couple notes. Um this year was the first year doing it. Um and I honestly didn't know we
011didn't know about it till right before districts and then we got an email and said um send your girls GPA two weeks before district started and these are the stipulations just a 3.75 GPA and they had to be on varsity. So yeah. Um, and Robin and I both talked about how it's kind of a big deal at 3.75 while being involved in a ton of things. I mean, most of the kids, I would say boys too, I know this, but they're all taking extra classes. They're all getting up in the mornings all the time, doing more than one thing, working a job, you know, as well as being with their family. So, 3.75 I thought was very challenging. So, and we thought it should be recognized and I thought they were going to get an
012award at districts, but they didn't. So then Robin said we should make them a certificate. Their name was in the program at districts. Um but then we made them a certificate and then Robin got gave that to them and then we got a picture of them. It was tough to get them all together though with their schedule. So yeah and we put on social media. So um 3.75 that is set by the district where when Greg comes up and talks about the boys or whatever or I turn to it doesn't matter. Theirs is 3.5 and that's set by region one and I think we've done that for many years. The >> first year we've done it. Oh really? Yep. Cool. Yes. And we have five make it. Um, so I'll just say Mallerie Harris is
013is not here. So, but I'll let the other girls introduce themselves. >> Jennifer and Miller. Good job, [clears throat] girls. Well done. >> And then, well, great points. >> Yeah, I I mean, I would just echo what what coach Miller said. You know, it's we we really to really do value our student athletes and their students first. And um like Mrs. Miller said they're they're doing more than just football and school, too. So, I'm really proud of our kids and I thought it was a neat thing. Um, it's kind of spreading a little bit. You know, it's the first year we've ever done it for football. Um, I was I was pleasantly surprised how many kids we had qualify for it. Um, and just proud of our our kids and and how they uh perform
014in the classroom. So, >> uh, so I'll let these guys introduce themselves and I'll read the others that aren't here this morning. >> Uh, I'm Nathan Schmidz. I'm David Baky. I'm Jess. >> Um, and then we have Matias, Max Klein, M Demetro, Dylan Quant, Jiren Nelson, Jacob Patassic, Cole Thorp, Giles Meyer, and Andrew Lundum also qualify. Hello guys, good job. You >> know, Mr. Lynch, I was thinking of something. You maybe want to explain how we convert because we have our standard base, but how we convert to that GPA so people can understand that. [laughter] >> Seems to be a theme on by the way. >> My name is Jordan Lynch. Um and so like with that we have our conversion scale that we have with our so if a kid gets a certain scale
015score it converts to a GPA and that's what we report on to the state. um that goes with all the courses that we have over here and then oftentimes like with our center with our dual credit with any of our center classes out there. They're still doing the traditional conversion as well. But with ours over here, we have it attached or a scale score and um with us like that's what we look at in terms of the state. Like I said, that's something that the state needs and often times it's tied to any academic scholarship, athletic scholarship if they're going to be continuing on, let's say, anywhere else. And they'll be looking at the GPA for those kids. Often times, it's it's kind of a game of like we talked about that before that converting
016back and forth. It really it's like taking a square peg and putting it in a round hole or whatever that thing is because they're not really the same, right? It's not traditional and we're just trying to figure that out. So, we have our set, the kids know what it is set on there and then that's what we report to the state. So, um I was thinking one more thing that maybe we could talk about is eligibility for our kids because you probably hear like or you see that there's an athlete not competing because they're ineligible. So, our rigor level of rigor that we have is that the only way that our kids are ineligible is if they are not keeping pace or doing their work in their classes. So, no longer is it that child
017that has an averaged grade and they're getting an F in that class. The only reason that our kids at Oaks would be ineligible is they are just not doing their work that they need to do for their class. So, if you ever get questioned by somebody, that's the only reason that they're ineligible. And um I feel like that that for years that's what I've wanted for our school is that those kids that are struggling in school are still able to compete. But if they're doing what they need to do and they're keeping up on their work because in our jobs every day and in real life as adults, you have to do your work. If we didn't come and you hadn't read your packet or you didn't know what was going on, everybody else suffers
018from that and that's part of our jobs, right? So that's what we expect for our kids and that level of rigor. So again, if you see somebody that or you hear somebody that's ineligible, it's just that they're not doing their work. They're not keeping pace. That's on the kids to do that piece of it. and it's for a missing site. Often >> times that's kind of what the standard is. I mean it it's really like let's say you have a big project and you're not doing that and you're spending two weeks on it. Well, you're not there. Um and then the the center is different with theirs and then dual credit as well as center requirements. So >> what is center for distance? uh that be above 60% which is their passing mark and then
019as well as can't be fall below four missing assignments there and then uh with the center if they have an F out there for let's say a chef any of their audible classes as well. Well, dual credit, we really don't even know about dual credit >> until they're completed for the most part. I mean, we can check in on it like, hey, how are you doing here? Say a professor reaches out, hey, this person's struggling here, check in on them and then we kind of honor it there. But oftentimes, again, that's the kids that they're they're going above and beyond. They're doing credit for here as well as to extend beyond outside of high school. >> Any other questions? Um, thank you student athletes and coaches. You guys are setting a great example for our
020fellow students. I think that's really awesome. You guys are doing great. >> Thank you guys for being [laughter] You don't need them, right? >> We get too many sweets. >> Right. Moving on to item three, consent consent agenda. Um, everything was on President I need to accept it. confirmation of the agenda. >> We did that. >> Um, yeah, we did that. >> I approve it. Approved it. We're good. >> I'm sorry. >> Sorry. I'm sorry. >> Great. But you did catch me on item two. We do need to um have a motion to accept the goal progress monitoring report for 3.1 choice ready. >> So moved. >> I have a move. Do I have a second? >> Second. >> That rose. Second. All in favor say I. >> I. All oppose. Same sign. Motion passes.
021Moving on to the consent agenda. You have an opportunity to read through that and ask questions. Um, do I have a motion to approve the consent agenda? >> Kelly moves. Do I have a second? >> Seconds. Shannon Pink on the roll of records. >> Uh, Sheila Nagel. >> Yes. >> Patty Kelly. >> Yes. >> Ryan Sire, >> yes. >> Ryan Rosen, >> yes. >> Monica Hanbuk, >> yes. Motion passes by zero. Uh moving on to item four. Reports were for information only. Moving on to item five, items for discussion with possible action. This month we have none. So looking forward future meetings. We have a regular meeting Tuesday, January 20th, 2026 at 7 a.m. And then our meeting in February will be Tuesday, February 17th, 2026 at 7 a.m. That one will be out at
022um the career tech center because that is career tech. >> Yeah. Traditionally do I confirm that I'm hungry? They always prepare a delicious breakfast. Um anything else for the order? Nothing.
